History of Indonesia 2013-2019
2013: Many political campaigns having started this year, with the election next year, the nation entered a deep pause, many people bracing for the reign of a new president next year, wondering about if the new president will do things about Indonesia's rampant corruption, it's huge debts, and most of it's problems in all. Most prominent was the candidate of current President (at the time) Susilo Bambang Yudhyono , Jusuf Kalla, SBY's vice president for his first term. Many supported SBY's choice, but many people still remembered the leadership of Megawati, who stabilized the nation after the demonstrations in 1998
2014: The elections started this year, everybody, even the soon to be incumbent President Yudhyono, thinking that Jusuf Kalla, his former vice president would win, but fate would think otherwise. Many people, wishing for a less turbulent presidency, elected Megawati, and in time, she etched out a majority against Jusuf Kalla, sealing the presidency up till 2019. The people had doubts, but the people who had experienced Megawati's first presidency trusted her to keep the peace and improve the nation.
2015: 2015 was marked by the commemoration of the continued battle against corruption, rampant all throughout Indonesia. The nation's attention was shifted to the expansion of the "Committee on the Eradication of Corruption" and corruption's roots were being attacked and hopefully... destroyed. Besides this, new spending cuts, aimed at reducing Indonesia's debt and preparing for the future had been started, but the people were increasingly weary of the rising prices for day-to-day products.
2016: The spending cuts on subsidies that were scheduled last year continued into this year, Indonesia's large debt had started to be paid off, but prices for many products started to rise everywhere, and Indonesia seemed to be a keg that might explode soon. In other news, the "Committee on the Eradication of Corruption" continued it's works and it seemed that it's effects started to be felt, and projects started to be finished sooner, funding found everywhere..
2017: All chaos spilled out this year, protests ringing out in major cities around Indonesia. The protests demanding the "stability"promised by President Megawati's Campaign, or.... President Megawati's resignation. Mounting protests around the nation stopped much growth this year, although the economy was in general improving with some of the debt being paid off, and corruption being stamped out of the current officials. In Irian Jaya or West Papua, the people there debated secession amid this chaos, but most of the people wished to see what happened, before any decisive action.
2018: On January 1st, 2018, President Megawati officially resigned, and the nation called for Former President Susilo Bambang Yudhyono, to take charge again till the end of President Megaawati's term, in 2019. The protests all dramatically stopped, the nation wished for stability, and the now President Susilo Bambang Yudhyono found works much easier now, due to the spending cuts by Megawati which paid off some of the debt, as well as the anti-corruption committee's success. Political campaigns rang out again this year, with President SBY's Democratic Party winning the trust and majority of the peoples. Also notable this year besides the ousting of President Megawati, was the decision by most people in Irian Jaya, through a referendum declared their loyalty to Indonesia, and the Indonesian people welcomed their continued loyalty as Indonesians, and the flag raising ceremony in this year's was quite a sight to see, with the people performing the ceremonies feeling extremely proud of their Indonesian heritage.
2019: This year, the elections happened again, and Jusuf Kalla, in a surprising turn of events, ran as the Democratic Party's candidate, evidently he learned much from Sukarno's presidency. The people hoped for something new, something innovative, some fresh breath of hope into Indonesia's future, and Jusuf Kalla was where the people looked to. The country is still in shambles from the 2017 riots, but the country is recovering, and the new generation of Indonesians are now showing their grace, with them working hard for the nation, and the nation giving back, Indonesians now hope for a better nation in all.

2013: 2013 was a publicly quiet year, as Prime Minister Samaras and the reigning New Democracy Party, PASOK and SYRIZA parties sought to enforce austerity across the nation in order to reduce the debt that hung over the nation like a guillotine. Numerous small and medium riots occur in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras and Ioannina.
2014: Continued and expanded austerity measures caused by the more demanding German government result in greater and more violent backlash by the Grecian public. Noted incidents include: a fire in Athens caused by a rioter that resulted in 7 deaths and 3 million euros damage, a violent protest-turned-riot in Larissa between the KKE, XA and police that resulted in 15 deaths and 126 arrests and the attempted assassination of the socialist mayor of Patras by a homeless member of the Golden Dawn. The last incident resulted in the Swedish, Swiss and Austrian consulates to be withdrawn from the city. Greek debt is slowly being paid off by these measures.
2015: Dr. Karolos Papoulias, President of Greece steps down after his 2nd and final term. The parliament elects Dr. Yannis Stournaras, the Minister of Finance as President. This election is much lauded by the IMF, Germany, France and US. However it causes further discontent in the KKE and XA by seeing this as German dictation of Greek democracy and further causes riots. An uprising in the province of East Macedonia and Thrace is put down only by the judicial use of the military by the government. The KKE regional leader of EMT Province is sentenced to life for treason and sedition by the Supreme Court. Greece is projected to be below 100% of GDP debt by 2028.
2016: Dreaded by all the members of the government, Germany, the EU, the IMF and NATO, Greece has it's constitutionally mandated elections. The seats change to the following: New Democracy 81, Independent Greeks 72, Golden Dawn 39, Communist Party of Greece 32, PASOK 32, SYRIZA 25, Democratic Left 19. The weakened Social-Left Government continues it's planned increased austerity plans while fascist and communist agitators gain strength in the poor western and northern portions of the government.
2017: Prime Minister Antonis Samaras is assassinated by a member of the KKE in front of Parliament. A national emergency is declared, martial law enforced, and the country put under lockdown. Hundreds of rioters in Western Greece, Epirus, Central Macedonia and East Macedonia are killed and thousands of KKE, XA and Independent Greece members arrested by the government. Greek markets took a tremendous nosedive following the assassination but have mostly recovered following the declaration of martial law.
2018: The KKE announce the illegitimacy of the reigning Social-Left Coalition and declares a revolution. Martial law is again declared and thousands of KKE members are imprisoned without trial. A suicide bomber is killed trying to detonate an explosive in the Athens Police Headquarters. The Greek Military steps up and declares the West and North of Greece under military jurisdiction. Thousands are killed in the fighting, as XA and Independent Greece members join the military in attacking the communists. The KKE is declared illegal and outlawed in Greece via private members bill by a member of the XA and supported by most right and centre-right politicians.
2019: After a year of fighting, the KKE is holed up only in northern mountain strongholds. The Unity government (as it has become to be called) is continuing to hold onto the Government, however the power of the military as well as popular discontent at what is seen as bankish control, German control, immigrant control, military control, or general lack of control means that the nation is teetering on the brink of destruction. The bipolarism in Hellenic society is evident as the Southern Greeks enjoy First World living conditions while the Northern and Western Greeks live in destitute poverty. Debt payments are barely being made and the stock market on the brink of collapse. The next election in 2020 will be tightly contested between the reigning Social-Left coalition and the increasingly powerful Grey-Black coalition of the XA and Independent Greeks.
President Dr. Yannis Stournaras of the Hellenic Republic

GM note: British, Swedish, Egyptian, and Ugandan histories have been approved; and may be posted.
2013: With inflation back on the rise, the Ugandan economy faces several setbacks, resulting in an ever-decreasing quantity of funding in the Uganda People's Defence Force and social programs. The Lord's Resistance Army grows increasingly belligerent, pressing the advantages over the weakened counter-insurgency, raiding for more and more "warriors", and re-burrowing within Acholiland.
2014: The Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill is finally passed, much to the dismay of the international community. Despite moderation being promised, explaining the delay of implementation, the bill was remarkably harsh. International, as well as internal, backlash was so strong that the bill was quickly removed before finalization, in the face of condemnations and accusations. President Yoweri Museveni was accredited with this bumbling display of politics from all sides, both those against and for the bill, with his popularity slowly shrinking.
2015: Political opposition uses this year to berate President Museveni for the lack of progress of the Ugandan economy. While inflation has finally stagnated, the damage had been done, and reconstruction would take years to restore Uganda to her former self.
2016: President Museveni lived up to international speculation, utilizing the abolishment of presidential terms to once again run for office. Showcasing his failures of the previous years to the people opposition parties made great headway in raising support. Tension flared when the poll results showed an apparent landslide victory for Museveni, and protests of vote-rigging sprang up across Uganda. The military was ordered to disperse these dissidents quickly, which is promptly ignored.
2017: Uganda's history of coups comes full-circle, with General Katumba Wamala, highest ranking commander in the Ugandan military, declaring the capture and resignation of President Museveni. This finds general national support from opposition parties who saw Museveni as detrimental to Uganda, from the southern Ugandan tribes who perceived the President as biased in their support for the western tribes, and from of course, the military. General Wamala is sworn in as Interim President of Uganda, with the Minister of Defense, Dr. Crispus Kiyonga, as Interim Vice-President.
2018: The new government quickly seeks to rectify the mistakes of the past, with the first order of business being the restoration of military funds to combat the still-present LRA forces in the north. Used to a neutered adversary, the LRA are shocked to face several losses in small-scale skirmishes with the renewed army. On an economical level, progress is made in liberalizing ownership and land reform. National hunger decreases slightly, with agricultural sectors receiving much-needed government assistance.
2019: Astonishing results are to be had when the Ugandan forces, with assistance from the African Union, launch a massive counter-offensive against the LRA. Shockingly, a raid on a supposed LRA convoy revealed a great find; Joseph Kony on his way back to rally the LRA guerrillas. His capture lead to an amazing moral victory for the new government, although it is expected that the LRA will find a new Walord, and remain a major terrorist task force.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
History of the UK
2013: The UKs economy continues to recover, with economic growth hitting 1% for the year, beating forecasts. The major event of the year happened on the early morning of 13th October 2013. Prime Minister David Cameron is involved in a fatal car crash in his home constituency of Witney. He is treated in Witney community Hospital, however passes away 46 hours later. The nation becomes leaderless, while the Conservative party are thrown into turmoil. The Conservatives quickly move to elect a new leader, with the front runners being Home Secretary Theresa May and the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. Boris Johnson is elected leader of the Conservative Party by a 2/3rds majority. The Queen appoints Boris Johnson as Prime Minister, making him first PM without a constituency since 1902. He would resolve that by winning the Croydon South by-election in January next year.
2014: The focus of the year is on Scotland. The Glasgow Commonwealth games pass off as a great success. Australia wins the most gold’s of the games with India coming second. The vote on Scottish independence is held on the 18th of September. Though Alex Salmonds Nationalists fight a hard campaign, independence is defeated, with 65% voting in No. Oil extraction begins off the coast of the Falklands. Argentina protests strongly, summoning the British Ambassador. The economy continues to grow, reaching 2.1%. Unemployment drops. The oil money from the Falklands in invested in the construction of wave turbines and to help reduce the national deficit.
2015: The general election of 2015 is one of the closest in British electoral history. The Conservatives, though winning the most seats, 285 (-21), do not meet the 326 required for a majority, resulting in another hung Parliament. Labour comes second with 247 (-11) seats. The Liberal Democrats time in coalition did not serve them well, with their number of seats dropping to 46 (-10). The big surprise was the breakthrough of UKIP, winning 43 (+43) seats. The rest of the seats were taken by a variety of Nationalist Parties, Ulster Unionists and the Greens. With a combined 328 seats, the Conservatives and UKIP enter into a coalition government. Boris Johnson remains Prime Minister, Nigel Farage becomes deputy PM.
With the Conservatives promising a referendum on EU membership in their election manifesto and with UKIP now in government, the British people, for the first time in many decades, went to the poles to vote on whether to stay in the EU. The vote is extremely close. Once all the votes have been counted, it was clear that the UK had voted to stay in the European Union, with 51.8% of people voting to remain in the EU. The economy continues to grow, unemployment tumbles.
2016: North Sea Oil begins to run dry. The treasury, the Scottish economy and Scottish nationalism are hit. Construction begins on Boris Island, a new airport built in the Thames Estuary and the brain child of Boris Johnson. The system of devolution enjoyed by Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales is reformed and expanded. Each devolved government is given the exact same amount of powers and authority. Two new devolved assemblies are created in England. The first encompasses the North of England with York as its capital. The second encompasses Southern England with its capital in London. Elections for all 5 assemblies finished at the end of the year.
2017: At the age of 91, after ruling for 65 years, Queen Elizabeth II died in her sleep on the 19th May. The entire nation, Commonwealth and much of the world mourn her passing. The state funeral is attended by dignitaries from across the world. Hundreds of thousands line the street to watch the procession pass and London comes to a complete standstill. Prince Charles ascends to the throne later in the year. Construction begins on HS2, the high speed railroad spanning from London to Glasgow and Edinburgh. It is due to be finished in 2026. The city of London experiences a minor boom in its already large banking sector.
2018: Funding is boosted in renewable power sources, specifically wave turbines. Green industries begin to flourish and make use of tax breaks. The economy continues its steady growth. A border pole takes place in Northern Ireland. 61% vote to remain within the union. Electoral boundaries are redrawn to rebalance the urban advantage enjoyed by Labour.
2019: The Conservative party, having overseen Britain’s recovery from recession and after guiding her back to prosperity under the leadership of charismatic Boris, wins the 2019 general election. They win 344 (+69) seats, enjoying a safe majority. Labour finish second winning 171 (-76) seats. Ed Milliband is ousted as leader. David Milliband, his brother, returns to politics hoping to revive Labours fortunes. The Lib Dems and UKIP make small gains, winning 51 (+5) and 45 (+2) seats respectively.
((Thanks!))
2013: The protests and violence that marked the first half of the year continued throughout the autumn and winter. Sit-ins by pro-Morsi protesters were aggressively broken up by the military, leading to deaths on both sides. The stance of the international community stayed constant - disapproval but inaction.
2014: Early in the year new elections, both presidential and legislative, were held to try and restore some semblance of democracy. The first were the elections for the legislature. Still strong despite the year of chaos, the Freedom and Justice Party becomes the second party in both the House of Representatives and the Shura Council. In their place, the National Salvation Front becomes the majority force in Egyptian politics. Other notable groups in the elections are the National Groups Coalition, headed by Ahmed Shafiq, and the Al-Nour Party. A tight race in the presidential election saw Ahmed Shafiq gain the presidency, as many voters simply attempted to keep the FJP out of government. The return to proper democracy keeps open the vital supplies of American aid into the nation.
2015: Protests organised by the Muslim Brotherhood kick up again due to a disagreement between the ruling coalition and the FJP. In contrast to 2013, the military is on the side of the government. Minor violence erupts, but not on the scale of previous years, and eventually the protesters go home. The year ends on a note of slight optimism, as the political scene seems to calm.
2016: The optimism of the previous year continues, albeit cautiously. Population growth lowers slightly, as the birth rate declines yet the death rate refuses to budge. The most important news of the year is the formal announcement of the Saudi–Egypt Causeway, a bridge crossing the Gulf of Aqaba and connecting the two nations. While expensive, the construction work fuels growth in both countries, strengthening their growing economies. Immigrant workers both from within Egypt and Asia move into the area, increasing the population of the Sinai peninsula.
2017: Political violence, notably absent during the previous 18 months, kicks up again in anticipation of the Shura elections, in which 1/3 of the upper house will be decided. The National Salvation Front collapses into liberal and socialist halves. Instead of weakening this part of the political spectrum, voters who had previously been put off supporting a coalition that did not fully represent their views now turn out to support the narrower coalitions. The success of secular politics, in contrast to the chaos of the Morsi government, leaves islamist parties struggling to gain traction. While they still have their core supporters, they are unable to reach out to the important middle ground. Attacks occur in the Sinai, with armed groups attempting to attack gas lines; however, the greater military presence due to construction on the Causeway minimises their effectiveness.
2018: As the year of the presidential election arrives, many in Egypt expect violence to pick up. Sadly, they are not surprised. Sectarian violence, mostly between copts and islamists, causes Shafiq to ask the military to intervene. A heavy media campaign by the Muslim Brotherhood struggles to have impact, as many of the important members of the FJP have found themselves imprisoned over the previous year and therefore are ineligible to run for the Presidency. Subsequently, they decide not to run, and the presidential election becomes a two horse race between Hamdeen Sabahi and Ahmed Shafiq. While Shafiq has gained popularity over the previous years, Sabahi has is favoured by a large coalition of political parties covering the liberal and left-wing of the political spectrum. Following the announcement of the results, Sabahi is sworn in as president, having beaten Shafiq by 4 percentage points.
2019: Violence continues at a low level, with occasional hotspots appearing. Relations between the liberals and socialists sour after several spats between politicians, making it harder for Sabahi to guide legislation through the legislature. Barring the islamist parties and their supporters, many people in Egypt feel positive that their nation has had relatively stable democracy for five years.

The History of Nigeria: 2013-2019
2013- It’s a quiet year in Nigeria. The economy continues to grow based on the petroleum industry, but not much political reform occurs
2014-Sectional tensions rise in the Niger Delta over control of the region’s oil reserves, but the issues are quickly put down by government security forces. The economy takes a slight dip in response. Vice President Namadi Sambo runs for President and wins by a slight margin, iniating multiple accusations of fraud and voter intimidation.
2015- A minor economic recession hits Nigeria due to a slight depression in oil. Towards the end of the year, conflict erupts between the north and south of the country, further enflamed by a poor harvest and the inability to import food products. Multiple atrocities were reported on both sides, and calls were made for President Sambo to step down due to his inability to end the conflict.
2016- The conflict continues throughout the year with no end in sight, until, after much bickering, the UN Security Council passes a resolution allowing peacekeepers to be sent to Nigeria. The peacekeepers move quickly, re-establishing some sense of stability in the nation. The economy begins to rebound as the conflict starts to die down
2017- Calls for President Sambo to step down again intensify with support from both members of his party and other opposition parties supporting his removal after a newspaper article accuses Sambo of laundering millions of dollars from the Nigerian treasury. Civil protests threatened to boil over but the presence of peacekeepers keeps the protests from becoming violent.
2018-Amid rumors of his impending arrest for the laundering scandal, President Sambo does not decide to run for re-election but instead flees the country. Nuhu Ribadu of the Action Congress of Nigeria Party wins the election on the promise of a more transparent government and better economic opportunities for all Nigerians. The PPD sees itself take a hit in both the senate and the house, where it lost its total majority.
2019- President Ribadu begins to enact free market reforms, which starts to put the economy into full swing again. He also tries to enact a slightly more liberal social reform, but that is blocked by the very harsh Islamic parties in the North.

To all those who were not approved, we sincerely apologize but the lack of GMs to cover such a large number makes it impossible to take you all. However, if we get another GM or a nation drops out, spaces will open. Again, if you are willing to wait then please post from here on asking to be in the wait list.
EDIT: To those who have been accepted, post your histories if you have not and then ALL players must send their histories once more to me and Ab. The first half of the list sends to myself, second half to Ab.
